Joe Osae Addo, a societal extrovert, is a Ghanaian architect that reinterprets and engages his design senses in a pseudo modern yet traditional palette. He tries to see Africa beyond its problems and tries to look at the architecture based on African architecture that has come to be defined from great pedigree and resilience rather than the problems facing it.
